Looking good my friend!
Good idea to cut the strips with curves, bend then in the bow is a PITA.
Regards,

Re: Eric's C21
I didn't get started until after lunch. I had to wait for my newest employee to finish her job at noon.
Danielle is answering our phone and doing office work for us. So when you call you will hear her sweet voice instead of mine.
We have the second layer of rub rail on. Every thing was test fitted and matched to the first layer as best as possible.
Transom profile. I think once I add the Tessilmare rail to this it will look great.
Going to get the second layer on the other side tomorrow.

I agree.

Re: Eric's C21
Only a little Fuzz. She has to do her job just like everybody else.
I talked with AA about planing this. He wanted to send me a router bit that would do the job.
While I know that would work great I felt he probably has enough on his plate without worrying over my boat build.
So here is how I'm edge matching my rub rails.
First I set the second layer just proud of the lowest area of the first rail. This put me a good bit high at the back edge on this piece.
I added some blue tape to the working side of the plane.
This has to be replace every five feet or so but it helps keep scuffs of the hull.
Here is the same edge after planing and sanding.
The black mark on the previous piece is so I can line these back up when I glue them on.
I'm considering using aluminum/epoxy of these for toughness. I may paint over them as well.
I'm off to finish the rest of it. Y'all have a great day.

Re: Eric's C21
I know I'm late, but why not just plane it all AFTER gluing it?
Re: Eric's C21
You could certainly do that if you choose.
I prefer to spend more time getting the prep as close as I can and then move forward to the next step.
Just mt way of doing things.
Anyway the last layer is on.
I had a small amount of plain epoxy mixed so I put a spit coat on the first side.
I had no idea this ply was so pretty. I may leave the rub rails bright.

Re: Eric's C21
I get it. I was just thinking that you'll have some glue push and will feed your sanding habit with plane then glue. Glue then plane would produce a finished surface. I do t think there's a right or wrong here. Just wondering if I missed something important that had you to plane then glue.
